Main profile

Joe Maher’s current research focuses on energy efficiency policy, valuation of ecosystem services, and issues at the intersection of forestry and climate change. Much of his work involves econometric analysis using detailed spatial datasets, applied at the global-scale – to assess polices in tropical forests – and at the local-scale – to value services from urban trees. In addition, Maher's work on the energy efficiency gap evaluates policy cost-effectiveness and the return-on-investment across new technologies. His past work also includes non-market valuation studies of stream restorations, hike-bike trails, and public transit improvements.
